Succotash Shut-In

Succotash Chats Epi129: Makin' Time with ManBuyCow

Succotash, the Comedy Soundcast Soundcast, was launched in 2011 with the idea of promoting comedy soundcasts in what was then a marketplace still trying to find its way. By featuring short clips of shows being produced by funny folks both known and unknown, we like to feel that we maybe had a little tiny, eeny weeny, itsy bitsy bit to do with helping to ignite the torch of soundcasts across the globe! (But then we've always had a rather high opinion of ourselves...)

Original show host and executive producer Marc Hershon, along with booth announcer Bill Heywatt, engineer/producer Joe Paulino, associate producer Tyson Saner, musical director Scott Carvey, and booth assistant Kenny Durgis have kept the flame alive o'er these many years. In 2018, Hershon abandoned the host chair and anointed Saner to the position, with nary a notice from the legions of listeners. Typical.

I hope you enjoyed the
most recent installment, Epi128, our live recording from the Comedy Lab
at the Improv in West Hollywood. Dana Carvey, his
sons Dex and Tom, and comedian
Wayne Federman were our guests. I’m not real handy
with figuring out the metrics on the show but I THINK it’s our most
downloaded show so far since we started Succotash almost 5 years
ago.

This episode is
another Succotash Chats version, and my special guests are
Rufus Penzance and Howard Long —
the writers, producers, and actors of The ManBuyCow
Podcast from England.

Rufus and Howard play the
two main characters, named Rufus and Howard, on the show, as well
as every other character on the show, and they are just kicking off
Season 3 of ManBuyCow this week on Comedy.co.uk, iTunes, Stitcher
and SoundCloud.

I’m a big fan of of this
show and these guys and it was a treat chatting with them. If
you’re thinking of getting into podcasting, comedy or otherwise, I
think you’ll be inspired by their story as they’ve had to teach
themselves every aspect of what they do on the show – writing and
performing not just comedy but music, figuring out all the
equipment and figuring out how to get it
distributed.

ALSO IN THIS
EPISODE

We have a double dose of
our Burst O’ Durst segment with political comedian and
social commentator Will Durst, a classic Henderson's
Pants commercial and the Tweetsack is back! Which means we'll be
getting to your cards and letters…or, rather, your tweets and
emails.

THAT'S
IT

Boom. That’s what we've
got for you this week. But it's an hour's worth of show, so kick
back, push those earbuds in and hit Play.

Remember to check out the
all-new Season 3 kickoff episode of the ManBuyCow podcast. And if
you’d like to help us to keep the equipment on here at Studio P and
Studio F, it wouldn’t hurt you click our cheerful blue Donate
button on our homesite, at http://SuccotashShow.com. Which is
also where, incidentally, you can click on the Amazon banner at the
top of the page and help us out by purchasing something at the
world’s largest everything store. And we have a fully stocked
Succotashery, with t-shirts, hats, coffee mugs and more, all
festooned with our several Succotash logos.

Thanks for listening and
don’t forget — wherever you go, whatever you do — thanks for
passing the Succotash!
